Immigration Reform Bill on Life Support

By immigrationprof

CNN (here) reports that the the immigration reform failed a crucial test vote in the Senate on Thursday, a setback that could spell its defeat for the year. The vote was 45-50 against limiting debate on the bill, 15 short of the 60 that the bill’s supporters needed to prevail. Most Republicans voted to block Democrats’ efforts to bring the bill to a final vote. The legislation had been endorsed by President Bush.
